Do you agree with Willam Stowell? (see story)

William Stowell is suing (im not exactly clear on who, and they said it was for no exact amount) because he was circumcised. He says that 'Well, partly I’m suing because of pain and suffering. **Taken from the show 'Nachman' on MSNBC** “Around the age of 14, I discovered what circumcision really meant, how I was different from intact boys my age. And I started to develop the opinion then that it’s something wrong. This is a body part that you’re born with. And I feel that you should be allowed to keep it.' 'The grief I experienced was in the fact that I didn’t have a foreskin. I feel as if I have been robbed of something that I was born with and that I’m entitled to. That’s the kind of pain and suffering.' 'I feel there is no benefits. I have noticed, through my research, that the head of the penis-which most people don’t know in this country-is supposed to be a mucus membrane, like the inside of the mouth or the inside of a vagina. However, when there is no foreskin covering it, it dries out, becomes calloused and keratinized, like regular skin, thereby losing sensation. This to me alone would be worth having a foreskin.' related article:
